SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS. BEFORE USING YOUR UBERTI SINGLE ACTION FIREARM, CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT PERMIT OTHERS TO HANDLE THIS FIREARM UNLESS THEY HAVE ALSO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ALWAYS KEEP AN EMPTY CHAMBER BELOW THE HAMMER DURING TRANSPORTATION OR STORAGE.
GENERAL OPERATION AND NOMENCLATURE Your Uberti single action revolver is an exacting replica of an Old West single action revolver. As a “single-action” revolver, the user must manually move the hammer (see Parts Diagram, P/N 2) into the full cock (fire) position each time before a trigger pull will allow the hammer to fall forward and the attached firing pin to strike the primer of a chambered cartridge causing a discharge.
FOUR HAMMER POSITIONS: There are four possible positions for the hammer of this single action revolver: 1. 2. 3. 4. Fully forward (at rest); Quarter cock (safe); Half cock (loading), and; Full cock (fire). Fully forward (at rest) position: When the hammer has not been moved into one of the three possible cocked positions, it is in the fully forward (at rest) position.
SAFETY FEATURES Your Uberti single action revolver is equipped with one or both of the following safety features: 1. Cylinder Base Pin, and; 2. Hammer Safety Bar. Cylinder Base Pin Safety: All models of 1873 Cattleman revolver are equipped with an elongated cylinder base pin (see Parts Diagram P/N 21) which acts as a hammer block safety when it is engaged. The cylinder base pin (which runs through the center of the cylinder) has two positions: “fire” position and “safe” position.
Engaging the Cylinder Base Pin Safety on New Model or Pre-War Frame: To engage the cylinder base pin on this type of single action revolver, follow these steps: 1. Move the hammer into the quarter cock (safe) position. You will hear a click and see the top front edge of the hammer come to rest approx. 1/4” from the frame. 2. Depress the spring-loaded base pin screw (Fig. C-C/1) into the frame as far as it will go. This will allow the cylinder base pin to move. 3.
LOADING ALWAYS keep your finger out of the trigger guard and off of the trigger while loading and unloading. ALWAYS perform loading and unloading procedures with the revolver’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction. ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFE LOADING PRACTICES. Failure to follow these safe loading instructions could result in an accidental discharge or in a live cartridge being loaded in the chamber below the hammer. As with any accidental discharge of a firearm, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH could result.
hammer as described below. By moving the hammer to the full cock position, you will rotate the cylinder one more position so that when you lower the hammer it will now be resting over the one empty chamber.
ammunition, take special care to push each cartridge fully into the chamber to avoid interference between the cartridge rim and either the frame or loading gate. NEVER DRY FIRE your .22 caliber single-action revolver; cylinder damage can result and cartridges may not properly enter the chamber. A LOADED FIREARM is not a TOY. A loaded firearm is capable of causing SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH if not treated with proper care.
rod again to empty that chamer. Continue this process until all chambers are empty. You must operate the ejector rod its full length in each chamber to ensure complete cartridge ejection. Once each chamber has been unloaded, slowly rotate the cylinder one more complete revolution, take care to ensure each of the six chambers is now completely empty. Then, and only then, should you close the loading gate.
